Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ Advanced miRNA Assay, 250 Rxn

Applied Biosystems TaqMan Advanced miRNA Assays enable highly sensitive and specific quantification of mature miRNAs using qPCR. Together with the TaqMan Advanced miRNA cDNA Synthesis Kit, this solution provides a streamlined upfront workflow that is ideal for analysis of multiple miRNA targets from a single sample or low-level RNA samples such as serum and plasma.

• Universal RT—one RT step for all TaqMan Advanced miRNA Assays

• Sensitivity—detect as few as 60 copies input into cDNA synthesis

• Specificity—detect only the mature miRNA and distinguish between highly homologous targets

• Small sample input—detect and quantify mature miRNA from as little as 1 pg total RNA or 2 μL plasma

• Compatibility with biofluids including human serum, plasma, and tissue

Pre-formulated assay

• 2 unlabeled PCR primers (900 nM each final 1X concentration)

• 1 FAM dye-labeled TaqMan MGB probe (250 nM final 1X concentration)
